We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
The current injury toll on the Cronulla Sharks has had a significant impact on the Newtown Jets, causing them to slip outside the top five on the Knock-On Effect NSW Cup ladder.
To reignite their hopes of making it to the Finals, the Jets must secure a win against the Raiders on Saturday.
Despite putting up a good fight in their recent game against Souths, the Jets ultimately suffered a loss, leaving them in sixth place on the ladder.
In a recent report by sharks.com.au, it was revealed that Newtown Jets suffered a 32-16 defeat to South Sydney at Redfern Oval, resulting in their drop to sixth place on the Knock-On Effect NSW Cup competition table.
Despite both Newtown and the Canberra Raiders now sitting on 27 points, the Jets hold a more favorable points differential than their National Capital counterparts.
To reclaim their position, the Jets will face off against the Raiders at Henson Park this Saturday, August 12th, with hopes that the annual players' reunion and a strong home game attendance will provide them with a crucial advantage.
In this week's pathways report, the nib Newcastle Knights pathways teams in the Knock-On-Effect NSW Cup competitions were in action.
The NSW Cup side took on the North Sydney Bears at Cessnock Sportsground last Saturday.
Unfortunately, the Knights were unable to secure a victory, as they went down by 40 points to the Bears.
